Also known as Morphinan, 7,8-didehydro-4,5a-epoxy-6a-(b-D-glucopyranuronosyloxy)-3-methoxy-17-methyl- (8CI), C16577, Codeine glucuronide, Glucopyranosiduronicacid, 7,8-didehydro-4,5a-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6a-yl, b-D- (8CI), Glucopyranosiduronic acid, codeine, b-D- (6CI)

Codeine-6-glucuronide (C6G) is a major active metabolite of codeine and may be responsible for as much as 60% of the analgesic effects of codeine. C6G exhibits decreased immunosuppressive effects compared to codeine. During its metabolism, codeine is conjugated with glucuronic acid by the enzyme UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase-2B7 (UGT2B7) to form codeine-6-glucuronide.
